Chapter 3

Chapter 3 In another corner of Empire State University, Hope Van Dyne stood before a giant husk of corn in the lab where she and Scott Lang worked. She had encountered enormous vegetables other times when she shrank down to her Super Hero form, the Wasp. But in those cases, the vegetables were normal size, and Hope was super-small. Today was different. Hope was currently regular-human size. And this corn was as big as a minivan.

"It worked!" Hope said. She clapped her hands in excitement. "We've successfully altered the Pym Particles into Gigantor Particles. Usually they allow us to shrink down to insect size, but today we've made them do the opposite grow organic material bigger! This could be the answer to world hunger. Imagine if we could grow fields of giant corn. Or apples." "Or pizza!" Scott chimed in. Scott was Hope's partner in the lab-and in battle-as the Super Hero Ant-Man. "Yes, Scott," Hope said. She rolled her eyes. "Or pizza." She walked over to the particle spectrometer at the far end of their lab. She pulled a canister from its base and made sure the lid was shut tight. "This is just our first test. We still have to make sure the organic

compounds maintain their atomic structure when enlarged." "Which is science talk for big corn same as little corn?" Scott asked. Hope nodded and tossed him the canister. "That canister contains the only collection of Gigantor Particles that can enlarge organic matter," she explained. "This is one of the most important scientific breakthroughs in generations. We have to keep it safe. In other words, don't open it."

Scott fastened the canister to the holster of his Ant-Man suit. "You can count on me, "he said. "Or my name isn't-" BOOM! The door to the lab burst open and a menacing man with four metal tentacles pushed through the doorway. "Doctor Octopus!" Scott shouted.

A tentacle shot into the room and snatched the canister containing the Gigantor Particles from Ant-Man's suit. "The one and only," the Super Villain said as an evil grin spread across his face.
